Bodycam footage shows moment first responders rescued family members from burning home

We are getting a first look at dramatic bodycam footage showing the moment first responders saved two people from a burning house.

The bodycam footage offers a unique perspective on what El Paso County Sheriff’s deputies and firefighters saw when they rescued a mother and son from a house on Yann Road in Fabens.

It caught fire on Tuesday morning.

"I could hear the two subjects, the two victims screaming for help. The first thing in my head was I need to keep calm and I need to get them out to safety," said Deputy Adriana Muñoz, who was one of the first deputies on scene.

Muñoz's quick thinking helped save the lives of Gloria Hernandez and her son, AJ, on Tuesday.

"A lot of the windows were covered by bars. I could see a lot of the smoke coming out of the house," she recalled.
